When dressing for winter weather it’s important to put extra thought into what you’re wearing and make sure you’re adequately covered from head to toe.
To make the process of getting dressed for the winter easier, we researched the best cold-weather clothing tips.
Warm Clothing
Staying warm is quite easy if you pick high-quality clothing, layer the right materials, and avoid getting wet when it’s cold out. Be intentional in making sure that every part of your body is adequately covered. Use this warm clothing checklist below as a guide.
- Get a high-quality jacket with enough space to layer clothing underneath.
- Opt for nylon, polyester, or water-repellent materials to keep your outer layers dry.
- Use wool, fleece, or down as a thick middle layer that will insulate your body, and avoid wearing cotton as your base layer.
- Thick boots, gloves, and a good hat are essential to staying warm when it’s particularly frigid out.
- If necessary, pick up some hand warmers and stuff them in your shoes and gloves to keep your extremities warm
TIP: Fur hoods look good, but they tend to trap water. If you aren’t going to be spending much time in the rain or snow though, they can be quite stylish.
In extremely cold weather, wearing 2 coats is a great way to keep you warm.
